Stoke City vs Manchester United
Normally for cup competitions like Carling Cup, top teams will rest their players to give young blood a taste of first team action, but Fergie went one better by fielding 8 attackers against Leeds.
Carrick at centre back, Antonio Valencia at right back, Giggs and Park Ji-sung in central midfield and 4 attackers comprising of Berbatov, Owen, Macheda and Diouf. The rivalry against Leeds doesnt get any lower than this. And end the match with Berbatov as centre back after Zeki Fryers got off with leg cramps.
On the other hand, Stoke have to battle hard against Tottenham in 120 minutes and end victorious in the penalty shootout. Going to be a physically drained against Man Utd
Man Utd have won all 6 matches against Stoke, since they promoted 2 seasons ago. Again this trend will continue as Fergie field the First 11.
